More family fun . . .

It's been a busy couple weeks. Last weekend Ben and Erica were here and we celebrated Mother's Day a week early. I managed to get a picture of the four kids before they left.

On Tuesday, we had our weekly dinner with the Bik's (family from Burma), but instead of going to their apartment, we went to the park for a picnic. Ryan and Heather, Abby, Ty and Kate joined us. It was a beautiful night.

We enjoyed a delicious meal of burgers, beans and fresh fruit.

Saturday morning I went to watch Abby play t-ball. She's a 'natural'.

Saturday afternoon Dave and I went to the tulip parade with Laiya, Emily, Elijah, Jacob and Lucy. We couldn't see a whole lot of the parade, but we had fun anyway.

Sunday morning Kate was baptized at our church (Caledonia CRC). What a blessing to see your children dedicate their own children to the Lord.

After coffee time at church, several of the kids came here for dinner - and they brought it all, prepared it all and the guys cleaned it all up. It was a wonderful Mother's Day!!

Tonight I am babysitting Taeron (Holly and Allen's little boy). He is so adorable. He thought it was pretty funny when I took his picture with my photoshop web cam.

May you all have as much fun in life as I do!!
